great shell

i have used this for fall hiking in dry and wet conditions, and also as a shell on the first day of snowboarding at Brighton. Dry Q performs excellent. nice hood with room for helmet. The stretch properties of the material used are superb. cant say it enough - i love this shell. sizing is a little big. 6 foot 1 225 pounds and could have gotten the large, but xl leaves room for heavy insulation layer which makes it usable all 4 seasons
